Whenever someone says "Would the Flyers have interest in (Player X)", there are three questions that have to be answered: 1) What need does that player address significantly better than in-house options? 2) What's the REALISTIC term and AAV on the potential contract? 3) Who is being subtracted from the numbers equation and how readily will that gone by opening night?

From last thread for a trade for Tkachuk

Second or third pick. Heck, I’d add Aube-Kubel. I know you’re gonna complain and make a snarky remark regardless


/*******************************************************************/

I am sure Calgary is thrilled to death you are willing to include NAK. IMO it will take more than TK and NAK or 2nd rd pick. Many teams I think would beat that offer.

Sign Nick Ritchie and Derek Forbort (grit) - trade Laughton or TK for roster balance

Reimer / Rittich

So here come the Drunk GM questions....
Well what if player Y is flipped for a Z on the Forrest of Endor will the Flyers make the playoffs and win the cup.
Let reverse engineer the entire draft for the last 9 years and see what went wrong with global warming!

Not sure I love the idea of the Flyers being interested in Kuemper unless Arizona is eating some salary.

I wanted Ullmark but he wants starter money and role, so that's not going to work. Would be OK with a trade with Arizona. Interested in Bernier if he makes it to UFA tomorrow. Reimer would be serviceable but probably more interested in Brossoit. Very leery of Holtby at this stage of his career after being a hot mess the last two seasons.

Any idea what a trade with Arizona may even look like?

I think Matthew ktachuk is very overrated, not that I don’t like his game but people talk about him like he’s gods gift. He’s probably going to command a deal that he’s not worth, we have enough of those.

According to LeBrun: The Vegas Golden Knights have reached a deal with the Blackhawks to trade Marc-Andre Fleury to the Chicago in exchange for forward Mikael Hakkarainen

I don’t think Hextall left a big mess ….it was more just time to use some of the accumulated assets on improving the Flyers. But I to am looking forward to the new look Flyers ….and it wouldn’t surprise me if Fletch has other moves in mind.

Bill,
Do you see any probability that CF makes a hard push for an offer sheet eligible player like Svechnikov where the plan is to disrupt Carolina’s salary structure? Do the Flyers have the draft assets? Or is this just a silly season pipe dream?

The relationship between MAF and Vegas has been one of the most bizarre things in years between a player and organization

The fact that he's already at 7M and due a raise next year while TK is cost controlled for the next few makes me not really want to do it. That and who knows what the Flyers would need to add to make it happen.

They both have big personalities for sure….I do agree that his next contract might be an over pay.
